Ask HN: What is your number one tip for learning new things?
For me when it comes to learning something new, I like to pick a project or if it is not technical to try to use it day to day.
What is your number one tip for learning something new?
- InGodsName 8y agoLet's say i want to learn graphic design. I start watching YouTube videos about design. Reading random blog post about design just to get familiar with the terminology. I take part in Reddit discussions on the same topic. That way i develop familiarity with the subject. Then i start reading a book and after that i execute the practise.
- yesenadam 8y agoLet's say I want to learn graphic design. (Apologies to InGodsName) I'd start by googling best graphic design books for lists, then download books that sounded amazing and/or appeared on a lot of lists, from libgen.io. (Other subjects can involve older books from archive.org, or scientific papers from libgen or google scholar) Learn from the best.

- srbijadotokija 8y agoAnki, it's a flash card space repetition software. You can use it for learning almost everything. Other than that I search the web for study guides on the topic, some open courses and books also.
